Technology Overview
i-BoT
Long-Distance Wireless Diagnostic Robot for Water Supply Networks
1. Overview
A diagnostic robot capable of pipeline inspection up to 1 km, equipped with technology that acquires underground pipeline location data, maps pipeline networks, assesses internal pipe conditions and defects via AI video analysis, and verifies pipe deformation using 3D LiDAR.
2. Specification List
- Operating Time Up to 3 hours
- Travel Direction Vertical and horizontal movement (vertical 22.5°, horizontal 45°)
- Travel Speed Up to 0.5 m/s
- Applicable Environment Water shutoff
- Applicable Pipe Type Metal pipes (steel pipes, cast iron pipes)
- Applicable Pipe Diameter D300~500mm
- Operating Distance Up to 1 km (wireless)
3. Expected Benefits
- Technical: Secures technical reliability and improves management efficiency through precise 3D LiDAR-based diagnosis and convergence technology.
- Social: Prevents unexpected incidents, improves the reliability of public services, reduces social costs, and decreases complaints by establishing a maintenance system.
- Environmental: Reduces leakage and saves water resources, minimizes resource waste, and prevents environmental pollution.
- Operation and management efficiency: Improves pipeline network management and asset operation through efficient buried-pipeline location management and predictive maintenance.
